USE OF PREMISES

General: Contractor shall have full use of Forest roads for construction operations, during construction period. Contractor's use of Forest roads is limited only by the Government's right to perform work or to retain other contractors on portions of Project.

Contractor shall at all times conduct his operations to ensure the least inconvenience to the public and employees. Road closures will be permitted, when required, upon written approval of the Contracting Officer (CO).

Confine storage of materials to areas as approved by the CO.

Contractor shall provide adequate signing and barricades and take necessary safety measures to protect the public during all brushing operations. Contractor shall minimize disturbance of all undisturbed areas.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS (NOT USED)

PART 3 - EXECUTION (NOT USED)

General Notes

– Prior to any earth disturbing activities, contractor shall call the Pennsylvania One Call System (800-242-1776) and all Oil & Gas Operators in the work area to determine locations of any underground utility lines.

Contact Minard Run Oil Co., Gary Davis cell:814-688-2780 email:gdavis@minardrunoil.com

– All road work will be completed prior to timber haul, unless otherwise approved. All roadwork shall be conducted in accordance with FP-14 with Forest Service Supplemental Specifications (FSSS).

– Contractor is responsible for maintenance of all Forest Service roads over which pit run or commercial stone material is hauled. Roads shall be bladed or shaped to restore travel way to the condition found prior to haul.

– Culvert cleaning and repair will be considered incidental to road reconditioning.

– Contractor shall furnish, erect and maintain the minimum barricades and warning signs identified in the Special Project Specifications until final inspection and acceptance, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Signs shall conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Contractor shall install “ROAD CONSTRUCTION AHEAD” signs on all roads in this project area and at ATV trail crossings. Contractor’s sign plan must be approved by Forest Service prior to work. Signs will be covered on weekends, holidays and any days when contractor is not working.

– Roads shall be completed in such a manner that water shall not pond on roadbed or in ditch lines.

– All removed corrugated metal pipe culverts shall be hauled off Federal lands and become the property of the contractor, unless otherwise indicated for salvage. Steel pipe casings shall be returned to the Sheffield Compound (4850 Route 6, East Sheffield, PA 16347) unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.

– Contouring, topsoil re-spreading, seeding and mulching of disturbed areas as determined by the Forest Service is required.

– DSA limestone shall be shipped at optimum moisture content not exceeding 15%. Limestone loads that fail field test parameters will be rejected.

– When replacing culverts in live streams, contractor shall install silt fence and straw bales at approaches to live stream crossings to eliminate sediment in the stream course. When culverts are located on High Quality and Exceptional Value streams, contractor shall install compost filter socks. Any sediment collected will be removed and ground will be stabilized with seed and mulch. Dewatering pumps will be used to redirect water out of the stream course at the time of stream crossing installation. Silt fence and straw bales will be removed only after vegetation is clearly re-established as determined by the Engineer.

– Roadway sod encountered during road reconditioning operations will be spread and leveled outside the road template avoiding piles. Natural terrain depressions and openings are the preferred waste locations.

Seeding and mulching may be required to supplement natural revegetation.

– Vegetation cut down during roadside brushing will be pulled beyond the clearing limits and the toe of any roadway template construction. Mixing of soil and cut vegetation shall be avoided. All material will be scattered and lopped within 3’ of the ground.

– On roads closed to public traffic, aggregate may be stockpiled for culvert replacement on areas agreed upon in writing by the E.R. aggregate shall not be stockpiled on the road surface. No road surface aggregate will be stockpiled unless written agreement is in place from the E.R. based on formal written request from the Purchaser Representative. Stockpiling does not conform to the following contract specifications: FP14 #204, and #303.– In any location where aggregate is stockpiled for future use, stockpiles shall have proper E&S controls.

– Contractor shall install silt fence and straw bales at live stream crossings to eliminate sediment in the stream course. Any sediment collected will be removed and stabilized with seed and mulch. This will be considered incidental to Pay Item 602.

106 - Acceptance of Work

106.01_National_7_18_2017

Delete Subsection 106.01 and replace with the following:

106.01 Conformity with Contract Requirements.

Follow the requirements of FAR Clause 52.246-12 Inspection of Construction.

References to standard test methods of AASHTO, ASTM, GSA, and other recognized standard authorities refer to the methods in effect on the date of solicitation for bids.

Perform all work to the lines, grades, cross-sections, dimensions, and processes or material requirements shown on the plans or specified in the contract.

Incorporate manufactured materials into the work according to the manufacturer’s recommendations or to these specifications, whichever is stricter.

Plan dimensions and contract specification values are the values to be strived for and complied with as the design values from which any deviations are allowed. Perform work and provide material that is uniform in character and reasonably close to the prescribed value or within the specified tolerance range.

The purpose of a tolerance range is to accommodate occasional minor variations from the median zone that are unavoidable for practical reasons.

When standard manufactured items are specified (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits, etc., that are identified by gauge, unit mass, section dimensions, etc.), the identification will be considered to be nominal masses or dimensions. Unless specific contract tolerances are noted, established manufacturing tolerances will be accepted.

The Government may inspect, sample, or test all work at any time before final acceptance of the project.

When the Government tests work, copies of test reports are furnished to the Contractor upon request.

Government tests may or may not be performed at the work site. If Contractor testing and inspection is verified by the Government, the Contractor’s results may be used by the Government to evaluate work for acceptance. Do not rely on the availability of Government test results for process control.

Acceptable work conforming to the contract will be paid for at the contract unit bid price. Four methods of determining conformity and accepting work are described in Subsections 106.02 to 106.05 inclusive.

The primary method of acceptance is specified in each Section of work. However, work may be rejected at any time it is found by any of the methods not to comply with the contract.

Remove, repair, or replace work that does not conform to the contract, or to prevailing industry standards where no specific contract requirements are noted. Removing, repairing, or replacing work;

providing temporary traffic control; and any other related work to accomplish conformity will be at no cost to the Government.

(a) Disputing Government test results. If the accuracy of Government test results is disputed, promptly inform the CO. If the dispute is unresolved after reasonable steps are taken to resolve the dispute, further evaluation may be obtained by written request. Include a narrative describing the dispute and a proposed resolution protocol that addresses the following:

1. Sampling method;

2. Number of samples;

3. Sample transport;

4. Test procedures;

5. Testing laboratories;

6. Reporting;

7. Estimated time and costs; and

8. Validation process.

If the evaluation requires additional sampling or testing be performed, mutually agree with the Government on witnessing procedures and on sampling and testing by a third party laboratory. Use a third party laboratory accredited by the AASHTO accreditation program. Provide proof of the laboratory’s accreditation for the test procedures to be used. Do not use the same laboratory that produced the disputed Government test results or that produced the test results used as a basis for the dispute.

The CO will review the proposed resolution protocol and may modify it before final approval and execution.

The Government will use the approved resolution protocol test results to determine the validity of the disputed testing. If the Government test results are validated, the Contractor will be responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol. If the Government test results are not validated, the Government will be responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol. If the validity of the Government test results cannot be determined, the Contractor and Government will equally share all costs associated with developing and carrying out the resolution protocol.

(b) Alternatives to removing and replacing non-conforming work. As an alternative to removal and replacement, the Contractor may submit a written request to:

1. Have the work accepted at a reduced price; or

2. Be given permission to perform corrective measures to bring the work into conformity.

The request must contain supporting rationale and documentation. Include references or data justifying the proposal based on an evaluation of test results, effect on service life, value of material or work, quality, aesthetics, and other tangible engineering basis. The CO will determine disposition of the nonconforming work.
